A letter from Renée Ahdieh.

There are
not enough words to express how thrilled I am to share THE WRATH AND THE DAWN
with you! From the moment I typed the first word, I felt connected to Shahrzad
and her world in a way that carried me through the long process of publication
to where we are today.

Everything
about this process has been a dream come true, and hope you love my book half
as much as I enjoyed writing it. In celebration of release day, I'll be giving
away a signed, first edition hardcover of the book, as well as a gorgeous scarf
. . . or two!

A
sumptuous and epically told love story inspired by A Thousand and One Nights

Every dawn brings
horror to a different family in a land ruled by a killer. Khalid, the
eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, takes a new bride each night only to have
her executed at sunrise. So it is a suspicious surprise when sixteen-year-old
Shahrzad volunteers to marry Khalid. But she does so with a clever plan to stay
alive and exact revenge on the Caliph for the murder of her best friend and
countless other girls. Shazi's wit and will, indeed, get her through to the
dawn that no others have seen, but with a catch . . . she’s falling in love
with the very boy who killed her dearest friend.

She
discovers that the murderous boy-king is not all that he seems and neither are
the deaths of so many girls. Shazi is determined to uncover the reason for the
murders and to break the cycle once and for all.
